The Acer Aspire X1700 desktop computer will do anything that a computer is capable of. It can run Internet searches, create viral videos for online video sites and create music with the help of audio production software. Every now and then after installing a new piece of software, the computer will act slower, or certain programs will not function properly. This can be fixed by restoring the hard drive, referred to as a partition.
